Ghostriding...Banned?

Apparently this song and video by Oakland based rapper "Mistah F.A.B." has been banned by most media outlets in the COUNTRY. Check out the video below, I think its dope and original for once, thank God for Youtube, until they take that away too:






Oakland rapper Mistah F.A.B.'s "Ghost Ride It" video has been banned from all media outlets because of the video's use of the Ghostbusters car and logo in the video for the controversial single. Mistah F.A.B.'s "Ghost Ride It" singles touches upon the phenomenon of "ghost riding," which is when the driver stands on the hood of a moving vehicle. According to reps for Mistah F.A.B., who appeared on Fox's Hanity & Colmes show over the subject, the video for the single had already been edited 52 times to meet MTV and BET's guidelines. The video was being aired on MTV2's Unleashed MTV Jams, MTVU and MTV's Sucker Free Countdown when Columbia Pictures threatened legal action over the usage of the Ghostbuster's logo and likeness in the video. In Dec. 2006, the song came under scrutiny when an 18-year-old man and a 36-year-old man died in separate "ghost riding" incidents.


36 Years old though? Way too old b.
